As Below Deck's chief stew, Kate Chastain is no stranger to difficult and demanding charter guests, and when Kid Rock climbed aboard a yacht she was working on, she was expecting some stereotypical rowdy rock star behavior from the singer.

Kate recently recounted the tale for Page Six. “He started smoking a cigar and we were having a party in Saint-Tropez, and the [ship’s] owner’s wife had three rules: no shoes, nobody on the inside of the boat and no smoking, and Kid Rock started smoking,” she said. “The other stewardess was like, ‘I’m going to tell him,’ and I was like, ‘I’m not, it’s Kid Rock,’ but he was so polite. He’s like, ‘I’m so sorry, of course I’ll put it out.'”

Even though Kid Rock had some company onboard, he still kept his composure, according to Kate. “He did have two girls, one on each shoulder, they looked like Barbies,” she recalled. “I thought he was going to stand up and the girls were going to start a strip show and it was going to be a music video of him screaming, but it wasn’t. He was lovely.”
